A NOTE ON RUBBER STAMPS:
Not all stamps and ink pads are food grade. I always recommend using food-grade tools on any products intended for consumption. Currently, the best sources of food-grade stamps and ink pads are:
sweetstampen.com/index.asp and wilton.com/. A flat, folded stack of paper towels can also substitute for an uninked ink pad.
